I watched that shit on release date. : Oh same. Friday nights baby! X-files followed by beyond belief, and I think by unsolved mysteries.

Hahaha we're old. :(

At least we're from a proper generation. Not like these new whippersnappers with their ipods and their skynets.

A big reason I didn't leave spirituality for awhile was, well, I was brought up by media to think of skeptics as close-minded, arrogant, and rude.... And Reddit Atheists don't do much to dispell that notion.

Took awhile to realize, the truth really is not out there.

While they might have co-opted it like such, I cannot imagine this being the origin. To me "late stage" always sounded akin to late stage cancer, as capitalism is seen. We, however should not despair in the face of the cancer, but try to heal it. This does not seem to be the original intention according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_capitalism

Ok... so why are we in "Late stage capitalism" now, and we weren't in the 1930s? Things were way worse in the 1930s than now.

Perhaps there were some changes in economic policy that fixed the problems then? What reason do we have to believe the solutions that didn't work in the past (ie. communism) will work now, and the solutions that actually did work in the past won't work now?
